call for curatorial proposals

In celebration of Print Center New York’s 25 year history of platforming guest curators, we invite emerging and early-career curators to submit letters of interest for exhibition opportunities beginning in 2028. Through this curatorial open call—the first in our organization’s history—we aim to identify promising voices and areas of research that are pushing our field forward, and to accelerate professional opportunities for curators who are building the print exhibition and scholarship of tomorrow.

Print Center New York’s curatorial program aims to generate new knowledge and understanding of printmaking’s potential by:

• locating print within broader artistic, historical, and cultural contexts
• re-examining and expanding established histories and narratives
• fostering cross-disciplinary conversation
• making print visible and accessible to non-specialist audiences
• imagining possible futures and developing new theoretical frameworks
